Eventually, Riku manages to escape, but is confused as to why Sora was able to regain the Keyblade. A [[Xehanort's Heartless|mysterious voice]] somehow contacts him from the Darkness, telling him that only one with a stronger heart can claim the Keyblade, and Riku himself was weaker than Sora. However, the mysterious voice, now slowly taking a shape, presents Riku with an offer he can not resist, a Keyblade of his own. Under the influence of jealousy and rage, Riku agrees to become one with the Darkness, only to become possessed by the mysterious voice itself. | Eventually, Riku manages to escape, but is confused as to why Sora was able to regain the Keyblade.

The new Riku then presents himslef to Maleficent and warns her of the dangers of unlocking the Final Keyhole. When she claims not to be afriad, Riku shows a new, dark Keyblade created with six of the seven princesses of heart's hearts. However, it doesn't react to the keyhole. Realizing it is still needing Kairi's heart to be complete, Maleficent heads off to handle Sora and co. After Maleficent is defeated by Sora, Riku appears with his Keyblade and explains that unlike Sora's Keyblade, this Keyblade possesses the ability to unlock a person's heart, and Riku demonstrates this by piercing Maleficent's chest, allowing the immense darkness that is attracted to her to overtake her heart, transforming her into a giant dragon. | The new Riku then presents himslef to Maleficent and warns her of the dangers of unlocking the Final Keyhole.
